Flammekeuch, also known as Tarte Flambee in French cuisine, is a cross between a pizza and a crepe, originating from the Alsace-Lorraine region of Northeastern France. Traditionally, the dish is topped with bacon, onions, and a creamy sauce, but it can be customized with various toppings to one's preference. This recipe is a modern twist to the traditional dish, using a simple bread dough as the base. The texture of the Flammekeuch is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and it is perfect for sharing with friends and family over a glass of wine.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2.	Roll out the bread dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch on a floured surface.
3.	Spread olive oil on a baking sheet, and transfer the dough to it.
4.	In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crisp. Add onions and sauté until tender, then remove from heat.
5.	Spread sour cream evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
6.	Add the bacon & onion mixture.
7.	Season with salt and black pepper, and sprinkle grated Gruyere cheese over the top.
8.	Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Garnish with chopped chives or green spring onion tops.
